I'm guessing from your reply that you have not visited bugzilla.kernel.org and read the background of the problem.
I'll point you in the right direction. There are more that just one "upstream guys" doing "stupid things", but you might want to start with Len Brown, who also works at Intel, so he has a pretty good grasp of the problem and ACPI in general. If someone decides to fix Linux's broken ACPI support, maybe they could also fix Windows' broken support, and every other OS that implements it as per the ACPI spec. Oh, and then, go and actually fix the root of the problem, the hardware vendor's ACPI implementation. Or, you could take up your frustration with your hardware/BIOS manufacturer, and tell them that at least two major operating systems don't work correctly with their ACPI implementation. Or, apply the linux-phc patches and get on with life. What's the matter, have you never compiled a kernel before? No time like the present to learn how. -- [GUTSY] cpu freq scaling not working anymore https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/132271 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
